FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 - DISCUSSION AND WATCHALONG THREAD ⚽️

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

Wasn't sure where to put this, so ive put it here for now, as its where I put the Arsenal Premier League win one.

I'm really looking forward to the World Cup, and want an England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 win (although I am of course behind Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿!)

I've got the BBC sport notifications turned on, and will likely watch with the BBC, rather than ITV.

I'll be watching my matches from home alongside my dd and cat, who are both uninterested!

Anyone fancy joining me? Will you stay up for the games of the country youre supporting?

Supporters of all countries welcome 🙂, expect football chat and banter, favourite goals/matches, fun facts about countries etc, what we're doing in celebration etc.

Happy viewing 🏆

Off to bed-early start. I hope they hold this lead bless em

At last!

I realised that I'm probably supporting the teams with suitable alcoholic beverages that can accompany my viewing.

Anywhere with beer is out which is naff because I got Belgium in the sweepstake 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just asked a Bosnian friend for a drink recommendation. Not sure Sainsbury’s is going to have anything suitably Bosnian.

This tweet omg

Well apparently I am on a yellow card as I didn’t make a jug of margaritas, I really must do better😁

Hmm, that was extremely harsh.

What my yellow card or the sending off. 😊

Both

As was that one

Hang on I seem to have missed 2 red cards.

I had forgotten how annoying the studio ref explanation was

Same here and now it’s three!

Damn it i missed the drama re red cards

I saw the first one. That was the one with the penalty (with a wall). Then I looked up and there were 3.

They have obviously got the memo to use a lot of red cards!

I’m not getting it. I just get a black and white football, I must be doing something wrong. Also, I mistakenly thought I was going to get a little World Cup, the trophy, so that’s a disappointment 😹

Bin the woman and the American man 🙄

Keep Laura and these two talking now

@Davros if I select the black and white football here it changes the word football into the WC one in the WhatsApp text box.

Eh but that’s just a football. I don’t get it 🐘 (dumbo!)

@Davros see the photo in the quoted post

I hope that the cheating, that South American players usually use, is stopped. Ruins the game. They've done quite well cheating in the past.

Rakia their main spirit is available only online or in Balkan shops.

You could go for something Canadian instead
A cold Labatts maybe? 🇨🇦

In Tesco the Iceberg lettuces are wrapped in footballs themed plastic 🤣⚽
